IRAN & IAEA Noncompliance

The United Nations Security Council, under heavy US-Israeli pressure- finds Iran noncompliant to the NPT. The same cast and plot are reprising a warpath to WW$.

The United Nations Security Council, under heavy US-Israeli pressure- finds Iran noncompliant to the NPT. The same cast and plot are reprising a warpath to WW$.

UNITED NATIONS-April 28, 2006 We're being mugged again with the same smoking gun. No matter that the gun has repeatedly misfired. The Bush adminstration and its neocon puppeteers are using the same methods and ammunition on Iran as they did on Iraq- along with the same sell-out media to publicize their cause. Bolton warns that "UN credibility is on the line". But it is the US that has no credibility. Do we honor the Rule of Law, or the law of the jungle enforced by the biggest bully?

Outside the UN Security Council Chamber, I spoke to John Bolton on the issue:

QUESTION: You talk quite often of the credibility of the UN and it seems-

BOLTON: -and so has Secretary Rice recently.

QUESTION: Yes, and Rice has as well. But that seems to work in your favor when they(UN) do what you want them to do. But you violated the UN Charter when you went to war against Iraq and you consistently lied to us about the reasons that we went to war. This war policy was drawn up in Herzliya, Israel in 1996 via the Project for a New American Century. What credibility do you have other than that based on having the biggest guns?

BOLTON: Can I ask what media outlet you're from? We did not violate the UN Charter in the war to overthrow Saddam Hussein and that plan was not drawn up in Herzliya for the Project for a New American Century.

I then tried to ask a followup question about US violations of UN Charter & ICJ when the US issued numerous threats to nuke Iran. This bully refused to address the issue. And most domestic media present were full accessories to the pending crime, not challenging lies or omissions. (Or maybe they are too busy with their latest "perv-of the-week" scoop as Ted Turner calls it). One shellacked-hair reporter even scolded me for not being diplomatic. Hard to be polite over a few million nuked or DU'd...
